Along with the trophy and medals, the FA are giving just about enough to buy a new Mini, a dress and a hair-do.

Not each, no fear. They’d all have to cram aboard because the £25,000 cash is the amount the winning team get.

The women’s prize money is insulting and, making matters worse, neither club gets a penny of the gate receipts, which last season set records with a 45,423 crowd for the Arsenal- Chelsea final.

What do the runners-up receive? Enough for a skateboard each.

To be fair to the FA, they are working hard to build the women’s professional game. But the fact that the men winners of the FA Cup will be awarded £3.6million — more than enough to buy the team a Ferrari each — puts us in our place.

Look, I don’t want to make this all about equality for women, at least in the context of football rewards.

It’s true the FA have overcome their reputation for regarding women as bodies to wash the footer strips but their inattention to detail makes me wonder whether the whole women’s professional game should be handed over to the dynamic Premier League who understand that clubs shelling out £1m-£2m a season to run a women’s team deserve attention to detail at the very least.

At West Ham, we are proud that Beard, captain Gilly Flaherty and the squad have taken us so far in such a short time. They should not be short-changed in organisation or prize money.
